PCR

A Procurement Center Representative is an SBA official assigned to major federal buying activities to advocate for small business participation in agency procurements. PCRs review acquisition strategies, recommend small business set-asides, and challenge actions that unnecessarily restrict small business competition.

PCRs work with contracting officers during market research and acquisition planning to maximize small business opportunities. They can recommend breaking large requirements into smaller lots suitable for small business and review solicitations for unnecessary barriers. Small businesses can contact PCRs for assistance navigating agency procurement processes.
